blackdog2 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Yup put a air toggle in the pressure side and put the switch in a hidden spot so you can turn it on -off when needed.

Freightrain Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Basically keeps the fuel turned down til the motor builds boost(so it won't smoke), so yes it will seem a bit gutless compared to without it. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Like Frightrainsays Just ease into the throttle until you hear the turbo start to spool up. Once you have a little boost going then you can put the fuel to the old dog Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good!
